OUR PROCESS

Many of our clients are either contemplating retirement or already retired. Others are corporate executives whose wealth may be overly concentrated in the stock of their employers. Still others are business owners who are seeking the most efficient way to sell their company or perhaps transfer ownership to family members. For all these clients, we employ a planning-based process that includes the following steps:

    Icon Image
    1. Discovery
    • As Financial Advisors, we understand the importance of listening before we offer possible recommendations

    • Our conversations will explore your aspirations, apprehensions, and unique circumstances

    • Only when we have a thorough understanding of these will we be able to proceed to the next phase of our process

    Icon Image
    2. Developing Your Plan
    • Our sophisticated wealth planning platform helps us provide you with an understanding of where you are on your journey and whether you will be able to reach your destination within your required timeframe

    • Once we understand whether you have a gap or a surplus between the projected cost of your goals and your overall resources, we will create a plan with customized recommendations

    Icon Image
    3. Evaluating Your Progress
    • We monitor your performance on an ongoing basis

    • We may alter our strategies to accommodate changing circumstances in your life or trends in the financial markets

    • When those markets turn turbulent, you can count on us to help you understand what's going on and avoid emotional decisions that may impede your long-term progress

    Icon Image
    4. Implementing Your Plan
    • Working closely with you to bring your plan to life

    • Consulting with Morgan Stanley professionals who specialize in estate planning, lending strategies, insurance, and other disciplines

    • Developing an investment strategy to meet any challenges

    • Ongoing analysis and adjustment of your positions to manage risk or take advantage of prevailing market conditions
